As a registered Democrat ( a Bernie Sanders " socialist ? ) I can only encourage our Senator Reed to support this treaty with Iran- if it at least avoids more horrible war in the Middle East.. But some sensible questions were not asked : Why did the United States not pressure Israel to dismantle its own nuclear arsenal ? Why is it morally acceptable for Israel to possess nuclear weapons and not Iran ? The whole world has a different opinion about Zionist Israel not also spreading " terrorism ".
And how can apartheid Israel possibly endear itself to democratic voters in the United States ? Who said that WE ( the mostly Christian working class ) have " a special relationship with Israel ". ?
More and more working class Christians identify with the poor , oppressed Palestinians.And Netanyahu 's arrogant -and meddling -speech before the fawning U.S. Congress did NOT win any new support for Israel - which has its own " race " problem ( too many Palestinian voters ? ).
Think about all this please, Senator Reed.
